Grounding bracelets, earthing bands, wristbands
Grounding bracelets: a band on the wrist, a cord to the earth pin.
Grounding bracelet, earthing bracelet, grounding band, wristband: four names for one thing. A soft band with a conductive face, worn on the inside of the wrist and clipped to a cord that runs to the earth pin of a socket. It goes where a mat or a sheet can't: the reading chair, a desk with no floor space, a hotel room. Here is how it works, when people wear one and what to check before you buy.
- Silver-plated fibres
- Adjustable, one size
- 4.6 m cord
- Tester pen in the box

The short answer
- What it is
- A soft band with a conductive face of silver-plated fibres, an adjustable strap and a copper-based brass stud the cord clips onto.
- How it connects
- A 4.6 metre cord to a safety plug. Only the earth pin connects; the power pins are plastic and no power is drawn.
- When people wear it
- Seated time: the desk, reading, the couch, travel. Some wear it in bed; for the whole night most people prefer a sheet.
What it is
What a grounding bracelet is, and how it works.
A grounding bracelet is a conductive surface you wear. Ours is a soft band of silver-plated fibres with an adjustable strap and a copper-based brass stud. The cord clips to the stud and runs 4.6 metres to a safety plug that uses only the earth pin of a power socket: the two power pins are plastic, so no power is drawn and none is sent.
With the band against bare skin, you share the earth connection your home's wiring already has, the same safety earth your appliances use. It is the same connection a grounding sheet or mat makes. The only difference is where the conductive surface sits.
What that connection does for the body is the question the research is still asking. The studies are small, and we set out what they measured, and where they stop, rather than promise a result.
Wearing one
On the inside of the wrist, snug, never over a sleeve.
Put the band on the inside of either wrist, snug enough that the conductive face stays on your skin when you move your hand. Clip the cord to the stud, plug the safety plug into a socket, and touch the tester pen from the box to the band. It lights when the band is earthed.
People wear it for as long as they are sitting still: at the desk, reading, on the couch, during a stretch or a quiet routine, and in hotel rooms, since it packs into a pocket. If you use a plug adapter when you travel, make sure it carries the earth connection.
Hand wash the band in cool water with mild soap and let it air dry. No machine washing: the conductive fabric does not like it.
A band for sleep?
A grounding band for sleep, or a sheet?
Both connect the same way. What changes overnight is how much of you is in contact, and what you notice while you sleep.
| Grounding band | Fitted grounding sheet | |
|---|---|---|
| Contact | The inside of one wrist. | Any bare skin on the bed: feet, legs or arms. |
| Moving in the night | The cord goes where your wrist goes. | Nothing to wear; the cord clips to the sheet. |
| Sharing the bed | One band, one person. | One sheet covers both sides. |
| Travel and the day | Packs into a pocket. Works at the desk and the couch too. | Stays on the bed. |
What to look for
Five checks for any grounding bracelet.
Run them on any band you are considering, ours included.
A conductive face that sits flat on the skin.
How to checkAsk what the face is made of and how it touches the wrist. Ours is silver-plated fibres on the inside of the band.
A strap that keeps it there.
How to checkA band that slides around the wrist loses contact. Look for an adjustable strap. Ours is one size and adjusts.
A plug that uses the earth pin only.
How to checkThe power pins should be plastic, so no power is drawn, and the cord should have a resistor built in. Ask if the listing does not say.
The earth pin and the resistor, explainedA way to check the connection at home.
How to checkTouch a tester pen to the band with the cord plugged in. It should light. Ours is in the box.
How the tester pen worksTime to decide.
How to checkMany people notice nothing in the first week, so a short returns window is not much use. Ours are 90 days, with a 1-year warranty.
Is it safe?
The same electrical answer as the sheet and the mat.
The band connects to the earth point of a power socket, the same safety earth your appliances use. It does not draw power, and it does not send any in.
- Earth pin only
The two power pins on the plug are plastic. Only the earth pin connects.
- No power drawn
The switch can stay off. Nothing from the mains runs through the cord.
- Check it any time
The tester pen lights when the band is earthed. If it doesn't, try another socket.
- Mind the cord
Run it behind the desk or along the wall so it does not catch on a chair wheel or trip anyone.
Talk to your doctor first if you have a medical condition, an implanted device, or take prescription medication. Never change medication because of a grounding product.

What people ask before they buy.
What is a grounding bracelet?
A soft band with a conductive face, worn on the inside of the wrist and clipped to a cord that runs to the earth pin of a power socket. Ours uses silver-plated fibres, an adjustable strap and a 4.6 metre cord.
Is an earthing bracelet different from a grounding bracelet?
No. Grounding and earthing are two names for the same idea, and bracelet, band and wristband are names for the same product. Earthing is the more common word in Australia and the UK.
Which wrist should I wear it on?
Either. Wear it on whichever wrist is comfortable and lets the cord run to the socket without crossing your keyboard or catching on the chair.
Can I wear a grounding band to sleep?
Yes. Some people prefer it to a sheet, especially for reading in bed, and the cord is 4.6 metres. For the whole night, most people find a grounding sheet more comfortable than a cord at the wrist.
Does it work over a sleeve?
No. The conductive face needs bare skin. Push your sleeve up or wear the band below it.
Is it safe to plug into the wall?
The safety plug only touches the earth pin. The two power pins are plastic, so no power flows into the band, and the cord has a resistor built in. The switch can stay off.
How do I know it is working?
Touch the tester pen from the box to the band with the cord plugged in. It lights when the band is earthed. If it stays dark, try another socket.
How do I clean it?
Hand wash the band in cool water with mild soap and air dry. No machine washing.
Which plug do I get?
The one for your country. We ship the matching safety plug for your delivery address, and the cord snaps to it.
